메센 최고의 사이클링 경로

parcours super le long de l'eau

Very smooth gravel path. No particular difficulty.

Better tarmac on this side of the Lys than on the other side.

Around the raised platform on which the Cross of Sacrifice stands are panels with the names of the regiments and the 828 officers and men of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force who have no known grave and who died in or around Messines in 1917 and 1918. Most of them fell during the Second Battle of Messines. The Irish Peace Park, the round tower is a typical Irish symbol and commemorates all Irish soldiers who died during WWI. The Peace Park also refers to the Mine Battle of 1917, when Catholic and Protestant Irish soldiers fought side by side.

Beautiful bridge, beautiful views and border.

Beautiful panoramas, how could it be otherwise with these rolling roads.

An interesting anecdote concerns the name of the cemetery. It refers to a chalet that stood in the hamlet before the war. This chalet served as a point of reference for the soldiers and gave the cemetery its name.

Lindenhoek Chalet Military Cemetery is a British military cemetery from the First World War, located in the hamlet of Lindenhoek, south of Kemmel. The cemetery was established in March 1915 by medical posts and combat units and remained in use until October 1917. After the war, approximately 130 more graves from the battlefields around Kemmel were added. The cemetery contains the graves of 317 soldiers, 69 of whom are unidentified. The cemetery has a rectangular plan and is slightly raised above street level, surrounded by a brick wall.
